I know i trash talked Timabaland’s new album earlier, but I have to mention that there is an exception. Carry out, a song where Timabland collaborated with Justin Timberlake, is actually pretty catchy and clever. I’m enjoying it… I like it well done and they did it well.

Earlier today, or very late last night, Garbage lead singe, Shirley Manson, posted a note on her facebook which ended with:
“Guess who I just spent a week in the studio with?
Would you be pleased if I said one of them was called Steve and one of them was called Duke and another was a grammy winning producer?”

Does this mean we should expect new music from Garbage? Is their hiatus finally over?

Not too long ago, the studio Garbage recorded most of their music in (Smart studios owned by band member Butch Vig) announced it was officially closing so I figured that would be the end of Garbage… I’m glad to hear they are back to recording regardless of whether their “home studio” is closed or not.

On a side note, I live in the same area as Shirley Manson and have failed to run into her. Can someone make this happen already? Seriously.

Merry Christmas Eve to everyone.

While working today I gave Timbaland’s newer album “Shock Value II” a listen. I’m not really happy with it. I was a fan of the original Shock Value but didn’t find any of the songs on Shock Value II very impressive. Nothing that had me humming along or hitting replay…

Oh well. Was nice while it lasted Timbaland.

This one is stuck in my head too… Weezer’s I want you to.

Listen

Rise Against’s Savior has been stuck in my head for DAYS.

Give it a listen

Went to the Pablove Foundation Benefit Show. A good concert for a good cause.

…though I do wish that Shirley Manson had done a couple more songs…

So… I was trying to study Evidence and instead modified “the work song” from Cinderella into what is below. (it’s pretty late, don’t judge me too much)
For context, you should listen to: Cinderella The Work Song

Cinderella’s “The Work Song” (Barbri remix):

Study Barbri, Study Barbri
All I hear is Study Barbri, from the moment I get up
till shades of night are falling
There isn’t any letup, I hear them calling, calling
Go up and do the outline and go down and do the essays, you can do them
both together
“Study Barbri.”

How lovely it would be
if I could live in my fantasy
But in the middle of my dreaming
they’re screaming
at me
Study Barbri

[Jack:]
Every time she’d find a minute
That’s the time that they begin it
Study Barbri, Study Barbri
[Stepsisters:] Study Barbri!

[Jack:]
Study Barbri, Study Barbri
Night and day it’s Study Barbri
Make the outline, finish the multiple choice
Watch the lectures, do the essays

[Girl mice:]
And the learning and the memorizing
They always keep her hopping

[Jack:]
She goes around in circles
Till she’s very, very dizzy
Still they holler

[Girl mice:]
Keep a-busy Study Barbri!
We can do it, we can do it
We can help her Study Barbri
We can make her learn so easy
There’s nothing to it, really
We’ll sing a song about it
Put some black law rules in it
When testing at the hall
She’ll be more prepared than all
with the lovely song we’ll sing to Study Barbri

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Gonna help her Study Barbri
Got no time to dilly-dally
We gotta get a-goin’

[Gus:]
I’ll read from the convisor!

[Jack:]
And I can do the MBE!

[Girl Mouse:]
Leave the outlining to the women
You go get some sleepin’
And we’ll make a lovely song to Study Barbri
[Girl mice and Gus:]
We’ll make a lovely song to Study Barbri
